Whatever your age, your smile should be something you can be proud to show off. But even the most conscientious person can lose teeth because of disease, wear, trauma, or decay.
Dental implants provide an artificial tooth root, abutment and crown for a replacement tooth. They are often seen as a better and more effective solution if you have lost a tooth or have one that needs to be removed. The implant, or screw, is typically a titanium fixture that will fuse with the living bone cells of your jaw. You are given the strongest and most durable anchor for your false tooth.
As a result, you don’t have to worry about your false tooth slipping or moving, a problem you can sometimes have to deal with when you have dentures. The implant is small and can be fitted in one procedure.
Dr. Diana has specifically designed Facial32 Dental Esthetics to feel less like a dentist and more like a visit to a relaxing facility. The lighting and atmosphere are designed to promote calmness so you can leave any anxiety at the door.

We will give you a detailed aftercare plan and recommend you carefully consider what you eat after your treatment. Instructions include:
